A tragic incident occurred today in an undisclosed secondary school in Ibadan, where a young boy lost his life during break time. The boy, whose identity remains anonymous at the time of this report, was reportedly playing with his friends when a playful push from a storey building led to his untimely death.
Eyewitnesses revealed that the boy, a student in one of the higher classes, was engaged in casual play with his classmates.
